"An object" - do you mean "any object". All objects has something in
common but most secrets depends on object type.

Any object is stored in a 'space object' - you can see this via the
DMPSYSOBJ command (context = library for normal use). An example of
this is my utility-command to find "which qry uses file xyz"
(http://hkrebs.dk/fndstrsyso.html).

Many program objects still contains the symbol table used when
compiling. This is how a source debugger (with help from stand alone or
imbedded source) can find the memory location where the named fields
content is stored and the attributes of the field. See
